Public prosecutors in Germany have moved to strip a politician from the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) of his immunity as a lawmaker after initiating a probe into bribery and money laundering allegations, local media reported on Friday.
Prosecutors in the eastern city of Dresden confirmed that an investigation had been initiated against a German lawmaker on charges of bribery while he was a member of the European Parliament as well as money laundering in connection with Chinese payments.
The prosecutors did not name the suspect.
Prosecuting and jailing fascists for the crimes they commit is a requirement for fighting fascism. Here in the US I’m just not convinced yet that Dems are willing to break the taboo on jailing the rich.
In the US it is almost like a double taboo too, they are rich and they are also the saints of the national religion of capitalism.
